A black and white digital image of a teach-in. The instructor, believed to be Hosea Lorenzo Williams, is in the center of the image. He has dark hair and a beard with a mustache. His head is tilted back slightly. His arms are raised next to his head with his elbows bent, and he is wearing either a bracelet or a watch on his proper left arm. He is wearing a short sleeve jumpsuit with a collar, a belt, and a white shirt underneath. There is a breast pocket on the proper left side with an unreadable label on it. There is a white notepad with two white pens inside of the pocket. Williams is also wearing a chain with an ankh on it. There are men, women, and children in the background and also sitting in front of him. They appear to be inside a large tent with poles holding it up.
